ORIGINAL: domiguy Why do so many women not list their weight on their profiles? I'll give you some reasons. I'm not saying which one mine is. - Because their weight is used by ignorant, usually male, humans as an arbitrary means of discard.
- Because people who want to know how much they weigh aren't looking for friends/partners/loves/mates, they're looking for trophy subs.
- Because their weight is not a stable signficant number, unlike height.
- Because their photos show clearly what shape they are, and anyone dumb enough to judge them based on a number instead of appearance is no one they want to talk to, let alone more.
So on, so forth... Hear hear! Those are alot of good reasons. Though I say, if a person sees my profile, looks at my 180 lbs and 5'2'' and thinks any of these things, better to weed them out now rather than have them meet me and think "EW! *THAT'S* not the perfect Barbie I was looking for..." Anyway, since being with my sexy man, I've had something to the effect of 'I'm taken, respect that, not currently seeking' in various bits of my profile/journals... I still get messages from people trying to date me or whatever.
